I love little Willie, little Willie’s my dear

You got a foolish idea
C              F
Sittin’ in the jail house

My back ‘gainst the wall
         C7                         F   A#  F  C
Old corn liquor was the cause of it all
C                     F
The judge said ‘stand up, George’

Dry all your tears

You’re sentenced to Raleigh for 22 years

I’m sentenced to Raleigh for 22 years

Write me a letter, back it by mail

Post it in care of the Washington Jail

The train has come up and now it is gone

Taking you away, Lord, just leaving this song
